Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Only 15 Vauxhall VXR8 GTS-Rs were ever built, each with a supercharged 587 bhp V8 — the final, rarest send-off for Vauxhall's performance saloon line.
The Gen-F VXR8 GTS arrived in 2013 packing a supercharged 6.2-litre LSA V8 at 576bhp — tuned to 587bhp for a final 2017 run of just 15 GTS-Rs before the model died with Holden's Australian factories.
When the VXR8 GTS landed in 2010, its LS3 V8 cranked out 436 bhp — more muscle than the car it replaced, right before the Gen-F redesign took over in 2013.
The Bathurst S wasn't just a trim bump — Vauxhall bolted a supercharger onto its LS2 V8 for 552 bhp, making it the most powerful VXR8 of its time.
This is a British Vauxhall named after an Australian race — the VXR8 Bathurst and Bathurst S editions honor the legendary Bathurst 1000.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
